Frank Luntz is one of the authors of the events he brings before angry focus groups. He then seeks cultural standing as a kind of privileged listener to his earlier creations. And the news producers give it to him because they have their own 'we're so divided' text to read from.

From a November 5th standpoint, the sooner Jim Jordan becomes speaker, the better, right?

The Ukraine war $ passed w/out immigration restrictions after all, so it's worth assessing now whether Biden's capitulation to xenophobes was a good or bad idea with the benefit of hindsight...

Can't we just put Dawn Staley in charge of the country for a few, four, years?

LA Times obituary on Peter Schey latimes.com/politics/story…

About “illegal”—and what it means for immigration, and undocumented immigrants, in this Biden v Trump rematch cnn.com/2024/03/11/opi…

Senator Britt lied about key parts of a Mexican woman’s story to hit President Biden on border security.

Many Republicans want you to hate immigrants so much that you’ll ignore that Republicans have few plans to fix immigration, schools, healthcare, create jobs or much else.

The most powerful man on earth admits mistake. Gotta give him props for that.

Thanks Dolores for the video of me singing at La Fonda. And, @lizleyva still gonna kill you :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V0oloTyL-c

The side eye Kamala Harris just gave the buffoon Speaker of the House sitting to her right as he finally stood (for the great John Lewis) was by far the highlight of the night.

'an illegal'?

I've had standing ovation for Sweden at the SOTU on my bingo card for over twenty years, and today it finally happened.

CNN reported live from the massive ceasefire protest trying to block Biden’s motorcade from getting to the state of the union.

I would say this kind of thing is beneath a US Senator. But I follow Lee's account, so I know it's not

Sinema's exit leaves the Senate w/o a key broker of cross-party immigration talks, making prospects for future negotiations bleaker

Her bipartisan relationships are on display tonight w/ SOTU guest Brandon Judd, head of conservative Border Patrol union

On the topic of sovereignty, has anyone ever asked Trump why migrants should respect US borders when he won't even accept US election results?

Has anyone asked Trump or his minions in Congress whether they intend to restore their 'family separation' policy along the border?

There is one episode in Sinema's career that should prompt real reflection among liberals. At the end of 2022, she helped negotiate a deal that would have legalized 2 million dreamers + invested in/reformed asylum. It was not a perfect deal by any means. But it was real reform.
